Re: Publications for the new issue of Aspire!
Hi there
I know it's been since May but I was wondering if the submission deadline for Aspire is still open? If not, when will be the next opportunity to submit an article?

I've not done thins myself but have heard of others doing it. Some people have canvassed for volunteer assistant psychologist roles for 0.5 to 1 day a week. Potentially, you might be able to arrange flexible working arrangements e.g. 5 days condensed into 4.5 days with your PWP role. Alternatively ...

Re: Can working in administration be a good form of experience
Definitely! I applied for the UCL PWP course this year and unfortunately didn't get it due to limited experience. So my plan was to do this role while studying my masters and then progress to other roles such as AP or trainee PWP roles. I also wanted to add its the Single Point of Access and Rapid R...
